Corruption is unethical. But it may also have deleterious effects on economic development, breeding negative work ethics and leading to waste and misallocation of resources as well as adverse distribution of income and wealth.

The ERF’s 18th Annual Conference explored the magnitude and consequences of corruption, identified its causes (both at the micro level and in relation to the political regime) and proposed possible remedies.

This trailer provides an overview of the Conference and the issues that emerged. It also underlines the role that ERF can play to further understand the problem of corruption and economic development.
